Description

This level will get you moving to the tribal groove, with an introduction to the fundamentals of tribal movement and partner work, isolations, & strength-building. We’ll get you dancing from the very first class! Geared toward the new student, but vital to continuing students for refinement, this class establishes a strong foundation for every dancer. Even if you have taken tribal and/or other bellydance classes before, this class will be instrumental in familiarizing students specifically with Deep Roots’ particular style.

Classes include a gentle warm-up, then we cover in detail one slow and one fast concept, and finally we work with transitions and partnering concepts. Students will need to purchase high quality student zils (finger cymbals). Saroyan Mastercrafts–either Afghanis or Grecians are recommended.

Upon checkout you will be given the opportunity to download student welcome document, with frequently asked questions and a class outline.

Pre-registration always saves you at least $10 over drop-in rates, and reserves your spot in the class series.

Each student will create their own 2-3 minute solo piece which we will perform for one another at the final class recital.

Note: We will be incorporating some of the vocabulary and concepts taught in Deep Roots Dance’s Old School Bellydance, which is offered in the months prior to The Solo Project. We recommend you join us if possible to get a jump start!

I can’t believe how FUN it was! I was terrified of group improv before your workshop, and now I can’t wait to play with it more. You made it so accessible, and your sense of humor kept my spirits high even when my energy was running low (you kicked our butts!) Thanks for a fantastic weekend.

I studied Tribal Fusion bellydance with Frederique in Oakland before moving to Seattle, and I was desperately missing getting my shimmy on. I’ll be honest, I first took Shay’s class at the Phinney Neighborhood Center because it was close to my house and she answered my email, but boy howdy did I get lucky.
Shay is a great dancer, but what is more important to this review is that she is…
